Exodus 17
1 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the LORD's commandment, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
Sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel som liki yen mwesis Sin, ac mukuiyak liki sie acn nu ke sie pac acn oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos Rephidim, tusruk wangin kof in nimnim we.
2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
Elos torkaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk, “Se kof nimasr.” Moses el topuk, “Efu kowos ku torkaskas nu sik? Efu kowos ku srike LEUM GOD?”
3 The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"
A mwet uh arulana malu ac sikalani na in torkaskas nu sel Moses. Elos fahk, “Mea, kom uskutme liki acn Egypt in tuh unikuti, ac tulik natusr ac kosro natusr, ke malu?”
4 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
Moses el kwafeang in pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mea nga ac ku in oru nu sin mwet inge? Elos akola in tungalyu pa inge.”
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the staff in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Eis kutu sin mwet kol lun Israel wi kom, ac fahla meet liki mwet uh. Us sikal soko ma kom tuh sang sringilya Infacl Nile ah.
6 Look, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Ke kom fah sun sie eot pe eol Sinai, nga fah tu fac ye motom. Puokya eot sac, ac kof uh ac sororma liki, tuh mwet uh in nim kac.” Moses el oru ouinge ye mutun mwet kol lun Israel.
7 He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us, or not?"
Ac Moses el sang inen acn sac Massah, mweyen mwet Israel elos tuh torkaskas. Acn sac pacna el sang ine Meribah, mweyen mwet uh elos tuh srike LEUM GOD ke elos fahk, “Ya LEUM GOD El wi kut, ku tia?”
8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Mwet Amalek tuku ac mweun nu sin mwet Israel in acn Rephidim.
9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's staff in my hand."
Moses el fahk nu sel Joshua, “Sulela kutu mwet in som ac mweuni mwet Amalek lutu. Nga fah tu fin inging uh ac sruokya sikal soko ma God El sap nga in us uh.”
10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Joshua el oru oana Moses el sapkin nu sel, ac illa in mweun lain mwet Amalek, ke Moses, Aaron, ac Hur fanyak nu fin mangon inging uh.
11 It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Lusenna pacl Moses el kolak paol nu lucng, na mwet Israel ah ku, a ke el eisya paol nu ten, na mwet Amalek ah ku.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.
Pacl se paol Moses mutawauk in ulla, Aaron ac Hur use sie eot elan muta fac, ac eltal tu siskal lac lac, ac kolak paol kewa nu lucng. Eltal kolak paol nwe ke faht ah tili.
13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Ouinge Joshua el arulana kutangla mwet Amalek.
14 The LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial on a scroll, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky."
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Simusla luman kutangla se inge tuh in ku in esamyuk. Fahk nu sel Joshua lah nga ac arulana kunausla mwet Amalek uh.”
15 Moses built an altar, and called its name the LORD our Banner.
Moses el etoak loang se ac sang ine, “LEUM GOD El Flag Luk.”
16 He said, "A hand upon the throne of the LORD. The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"
El fahk, “Kolak flag lun LEUM GOD nu lucng! LEUM GOD El ac fah mweuni mwet Amalek uh nwe tok!”
